Architect of the "rejection theory", one step away from the Prime Minister, a rougher version? The hidden facts of the man who wants to sit in Netanyahu's place The efforts of Western media streams to present a disciplined and rule-oriented image of Eisenkot are facing substantial challenges. In the late 2000s, when he commanded the Northern Front, he was the architect of the strategy known as the "Dahiya Doctrine", which clearly justified the disproportionate and violent use of firepower, the widespread destruction of civilian areas and the targeting of urban infrastructure to impose costs on the adversary. In 2008, Eisenkot made it clear that any area deemed a threat would receive a disproportionate response with massive destruction. However, his current supporters are trying to portray his tenure as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as one of "bureaucratic rationality and the curbing of religious extremism in the military" in order to paint a pleasing face.
